The XR4x4 did pretty well on its first event in GpA (87 Monte) - until it was pointed out Ford had not homologated the "option/alternative production" injection (K and L Jetronic) and Blomqvist was excluded. The 2.8/2.9i engine could not be made to develop enough power under the original GpA regs to be fully competitive (I know someone who tried with a Capri...).
Sure there were 2 RED cars - one 2wd before the 4wd one.
Do you know the reg of the Xr4x4 gpA car built by RED
